Question: Example: Heat exchanger A heat exchanger ( H x ) is operating at steady state. Steam enters one stream of the H x at 2

Example: Heat exchanger
A heat exchanger (Hx) is operating at steady state. Steam enters one stream of the Hx at 250[kP] and 90% quality and exits at the same pressure as a saturated liquid. Liquid oil enters the other stream of Hx at 29.0[kgs] at [20C} and exits as as a liquid at 100[C] with negligible pressure change. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected
The oil can betreated as an incompressible liquid with a constant specific heat of 2.0KJKgK
10% of the energy transferred to the oil is lost to the surrounding air through stray heat transfer. There is no heat transfer between
waterside of Hx
Determine the mass flow rate of water through Hx
Example: Heat exchanger A heat exchanger ( H x )
